Joe,
The telling answer is in your statement "the radio has an internal ATU".
The radio is showing the SWR between the radio and the ATU.
The wattmeter is showing you the SWR after the ATU - in other words, the

In general, digital wattmeters have the same accuracy at any point on

Hi Roger,
I'm looking at the W2 kilowatt sensor schematic and scratching my head
trying to figure out how that could have happened. There are 49.9k
resistors in series with all the op amp inputs, so there would have to
be hundreds of volts coming out of the detectors to damage the devices.
The W2 wattmeter has been sold.Thankks to all.

I'm not sure I can explain this. But it's possible the problem is a
combination of two possible error sources:
1) I believe the XV50 leds are displaying power based on the voltage at
the final stage, and is not using a SWR bridge to measure forward power.

Bob,
You should try installing the W2 utility (obviously you need to connect
your W2 to a computer via the USB/serial cable that came with the W2 in
order to do this). It shows the SWR and forward power with more
precision than you get with the led front panel display. It would be

It's the correct sensor. The W2 reads the K3 output. But when it's
cabled to the Elecraft 6m Transverter, there is no power reading. I
sometimes see a few green LED's for 1.3 to 1.5 VSWR. Never a power reading.

Dick,
That is true, but they are often confused - furthermore with any
resolution on a display like a bargraph, it is helpful to know to know
if the LED illuminates just after the indicated power is reached or at
some midpoint value. I don't know, but I suspect that Elecraft has
chosen to tri

Yes, they are different but unfortunately they are often inextricably
intertwined.

I look at those comments about wattmeter accuracy with a bit of
skepticism. Many hams seem to believe whatever their last used
wattmeter tells them. Look at the specifications carefully. Take an
example of the "much revered" Bird wattmeters, the spec is 5% OF THE
FULL SCALE READING - and tha
Accuracy and resolution are two different matters.

W2 WATTMETER I was doing some research and considering buying the Elecraft W2
for use with my 2 K-2s and read the very negative reviews of the W2's
accuracy on E-Ham. I wonder if anyone would care to refute the E-HAM reviews
or offer positive comments about the W2's accuracy. At this point I would
Good evening.
I ran into this this morning after building the second W2 here.
I have 2 K3's here. One that I use on HF and one that I use on 2m
70cm. Although I can run two instances of W2.exe with each instance
connected to each of the two W2's that I have, I'd sure like to be
able to name eac

Why would I need a DCHF-200 coupler if the DCHF-2000 would provide low power
readouts? The display unit has the bargraph ranges of 2, 20, 200 and 2000
watts. Why not buy two DCHF-2000 couplers, one between the K3 and linear amp
and another between the amp and antenna tuner. This way one of th

Hi all,
I might be having a blonde moment but I am looking at the W2 and it seems to
me that with 2 sensors, it can act as an antenna switch too. Is this the
case or am I missing something?

The Shipping Status page (last updated August 7) states the W2 is
scheduled for shipping 8/30 to 9/7.
I ordered two kits but no katiegram so far... and no manual on the Web
site. Any news?

Does anyone know if Elecraft started shipping the W2 wattmeter yet? The
shipping status page on their website said "Starts shipping 8/30 - 9/7"
